After my fun busy weekend with friends in the Belgian country side, it was back to business... read back to loads(!) of laundry and unpacking many weekend bags...
and my scrap bags of course...
(you didn't think that i would go away on a trip without taking some (ahem) supplies with me, now would you?)
The cotton balls where a local and much needed purchase, because i found myself having a crochet class all of a sudden!
One of the 'girls' wanted to make a cute stuffed animal as a baby gift and she took some crochet books with her, hoping i could help out... luckily my skills in that department were not too rusty and i could reproduce the basic steps! So, not long after three of us found were crocheting away, and progress was made: the friend who need my help -and who had never crocheted before!- completed a very cute frog that same day!
I even found a bit of time to work on my canvas pages, so i you're curious about my progress, watch this... you have to turn up the volume a bit, at least on the first part... i really need to fix the lack of sound when i use my build in laptop camera!
hi Pj! loving the pages and glad you had fun on your trip :)
about the sond issue, maybe you could add sound after recording, using a video editing software, so you are able to get closer to the mic.
or maybe a clip-on microphone will do the trick. I have one of these and it works wonders and are really cheap

Oh dear! Well, good luck then! It’s actually not that difficult, so you should be alright with this last attempt! And if you need some help, you know where to find me, oké?
